From Booklist
Ages 6^-9. As in the poet and photographer's My Painted House, My Friendly Chicken, and Me (1995), this second picture-book collaboration about Africa has great photographs but a disappointing text. The narrator is Kofi, a seven-year-old West African boy who uses "magic" to move from his hometown to a jitney, then to a place "up north. Kofi, whose magic comes from closing his eyes and opening his mind, is an engaging tour guide, but the lack of specifics about the setting is perplexing. What country does Kofi live in? What language does he speak? And the story line about magic is a flop. However, if you want to know what West Africa looks like, take a look at the vibrantly striking photographs. You'll see a bustling marketplace, powerful men and women decorated in their richest gold, and people of all ages wearing colorful kente cloth. Although there isn't much of a story here, this is a positive and realistic visual portrait. Julie Corsaro
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4?A young Ashanti boy invites readers to visit his West African village, famous for fine kente cloth, and to share his "magic"?a masterful imagination. Artistic typesetting composition is accompanied by appealing color photos that bring the lyrical text into sharp focus. Kofi is an engaging scamp whose vivid "daydreams" that transport him to other places will speak to children everywhere and present them with a clear vision of his beloved West African world. Kofi's joy in his life is reflected in both text and pictorial content and will be an eye-opener to more materialistic children in technically developed environments. A winner.?Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY

Magical children's book
5. April 1998
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book provides readers of all ages with a wonderful look into the life of Kofi, a "magician" from Bonwire. The children I have shared it with love it, and Kofi's magic serves as a reminder for all of us of the power of imagination. The photographs are rich, and the text is soothing. Look no further for a book that will put you in the mood to daydream.

This story is precious, especially if you love Africa. Beautiful color pictures and very informative about African culture, but a really good story as well. Kofi is a young kente cloth weaver who uses his magic (imagination) to go wherever he wants. AWESOME story for all ages!
Close Your Eyes and Open Your Mind - As you read this book!
8. März 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
This is an excellent book to read to children at bedtime or during storytime at school or church. It's a short, easy read and it's full of excellent information about the history and culture of Western Africa. Don't be fooled by the title. This book has nothing to do with black magic; and everything to do with using ones own imagination. The storyline is rooted in reality as the main character enjoys his "travels" to other places; however he always wants to return home to the people he loves. The beautiful photographs in this book make it a great coffee table book as well. I encourage you to introduce the children in your family or neighborhood to Kofi and His Magic.
